'Laughable': Matthew Morrison has denied having an affair with his co-star Lea Michele


There have been rumours of an affair between Glee stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele floating around for months.

But now Morrison, who plays heartthrob teacher Will Schuester in the hit U.S. TV show, has categorically denied ever having a romantic relationship with Michele.

The 31-year-old actor even labelled the rumours 'laughable' in a new interview with Parade magazine.

He said: 'It’s so laughable. There’s the rumour about Lea and myself, and we were literally on set and I got a call from my publicist, and Lea got a call a minute later.

'And we looked at each other like, "What the f***?"'

The rumours of a relationship between Morrison and his 23-year-old co-star Michele began when Morrison's ex-fiancée Chrishell Stause accused him of being unfaithful in a magazine interview.

But Morrison says Stause never actually gave the interview, and never accused him of having an affair with Michele.

He added: 'I have a great relationship with [my ex]. I feel like I can handle this stuff because I don’t really care.

'I’ve never gotten into tabloids and I don’t really care about it now, but I just feel bad for other people in my life who are getting dragged into it. It just kinda sucks.'

Morrison, who previously starred in soap operas As The World Turns, has found new success after taking on the role of Schuester in Glee.

As well as acquiring a huge fanbase, Morrison recently signed a record deal to release his debut album this autumn.

And Morrison says he is thoroughly enjoying his new-found fame, and loves playing the romantically-challenged Schuester in Glee

He said: 'I love where Will is going now. He was kind of like the perfect guy before. I like being a real human being now and having faults, making choices and them not always being the right choices.

'He gets himself in a little bit of trouble sometimes now, and it’s fun to play flaws. You don’t want to play a perfect person; no one cares about that.'
